Graduate Award Information

Travel Awards

The old GSS Graduate Student Professional Conference Awards have been phased out. They have been replaced by the RGS
Graduate Student Travel Awards and are now handled by the Office of Research and Graduate Studies. More information on
requirements, eligibility, and the amount of remaining funds can be found at:

Awards are given out on a first-come-first serve basis until the money dedicated to that semester runs out.

Graduate Research and Project Grants

The purpose of this award to provide funding to help exceptional projects and research. While we will take the financial need of the
applicants into account, this award will be primarily merit-based and will be awarded to the projects that show the most potential
for original research and broader impacts.

Graduate Enhancement Awards

The purpose of this award is to support outstanding graduate students at USU who have consistently shown a track record of excellence.
This year, we have redone the application in order to make the award merit-based, as it has historically been need-based.
Please see the FAQ for more information.
